An epanokamelavkion (also epanokameloukion or epanokalimafko) is an item of clerical clothing worn by Orthodox Christian monastics who are rassophor or above, including bishops. It is a cloth veil, usually black, which is worn with a kamilavkion.

The epanokamelavkion is attached to the front of the kamilavkion and extends over the top to hang down the back. Monks leave the sides hanging [1], but nuns bring the sides together in front and fasten them under the chin [2], similar to an apostolnik.

A kamilavka with an epanokamelavkion permanently attached is called a klobuk; this is more common in the Russian tradition.
